First step - question the user
inquire regarding environmental or infrastructure changes
Identify the problem
Troubleshooting Theory:

Look at system logs
To identify problems
Troubleshooting Theory:

Step 2: Establish a theory of probable cause
Question the obvious
Look from airplane mode
Troubleshooting Theory:
core 1: (220-1001)
Step 3: Test the theory to determine the cause
Take it out of airplane mode and walah

Step 3a: If the theory isn’t confirmed, re-establish a new one
Look at the problem from a different angle.

Step 3b: Escalate the issue, if necessary
Call in for some help.

ITTPVD -
I’d theorize that Test Plans Verify Documentation
ITTPVD
What item is not likely to found in a tech’s toolkit
EMP - Electromagnetic Pulse - not a tool - it is a cause of problems
A tech might use a voltage tester or or this tool to check power coming out of a wall socket
Voltmeter used to test wall power.
The first step in troubleshooting is
Identify the problem
After a problem is solved what is the appropriate next step.
Take preventative measures (including teaching the customer how to avoid the problem in the future).
Replacing components
its part of problem solving - not something done after the problem is solved
You need to identify a problem BEFORE
you SOLVE it
Teaching jargon to customers
while fun is not necessary
